<dir><font size="-1">
2000 saw the wide-scale introduction of new ways to connect to the Internet
-- through phones, PDA's, voice-recognition systems, etc.
Now that a year
has passed, some folks, like Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, say there 'is no
wireless Internet'.
Indeed, adoption has lagged even conservative estimates.
Spitz will review the evolution of the market and make some bold predictions
about where things go from here, both in technology and in the market.
